Elmore, Hudson, and Randolph Exchange Chips

Livello 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Brandon Elmore and Kami Hudson get all of their chips into the middle, with Hudson at risk.

Kami Hudson: A♦K♦
Brandon Elmore: J♦J♥

The flop of 5♥K♣9♣ immediately gives Hudson the lead as she pairs her king, and the runout of 8♦6♦ awards her the double.

A few hands later, on a flop of 7♥8♥10♥, Bobby Randolph leads and is immediately raised to 15,000 by Hudson, to which he responds by moving all in. Hudson quickly made the call to put him at risk and tabled Q♥J♥ for a queen-high flush while Randolph flipped over A♥J♠.

The turn 4♥ instantly gave Randolph the heart he needed, which left Hudson praying for the nine of hearts for a straight flush. Unfortunately for her, the river was the brick 6♠ and Randolph was awarded the pot for the double.

Winter Feels 'Really Good' About PoY Race

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

During the break, PokerNews had a chance to catch up with RunGood PoY points leader Brian Winter aka Golden Blazer, who is currently sitting around a starting stack in Day 1a.

"Well, to be honest, I've completely air-balled this stop so far, I think I'm in for around 11 bullets, but that's the way the cards fall sometimes. However, there's this new stat that I like to keep in my mind, which is 'peak stack', and those have been really good, consistently getting 3x, 4x,5x starting stack, but then losing big flips, but it's fine it happens! I'm feeling really good about my game, I'm feeling really good about my lead (approx. 600 currently), and the way that I'm playing, so yeah, I'm feeling really good."
